We were called to help NWAS (North West Ambulance Service) with the evacuation of a local lady who had a medical condition which needed attention. Unfortunately a land ambulance was not available for quite a while and therefore the Great North Air Ambulance had been requested. They had landed in a field in the village and we were tasked to transport the lady to the helicopter.
